Anchor Ball 2026: Saint Clement Live!


Wow-what an absolutely legendary celebration we had on Saturday, February 21st at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile! Truly, it felt less like an event and more like the best kind of live show-full of energy, heart, laughter, and a whole lot of parish spirit. What an incredible night to come together as a community. Thank you for making it unforgettable!

From record-setting attendance, to absolutely ferocious bidding in the live and silent auctions-the energy was giving "cowbell solo at Studio 8H."And, we didn't just meet the $400,000 Paddle Raise goal-we blew past it.  Because of you, we'll continue supporting our incredible Child First team in the school AND sustain our vibrant parish ministries, including our growing young adult programming. That's standing-ovation-level generosity.

And in what may go down as the most suspenseful paddle showdown in Saint Clement history, it was a tight race-but in the end, The Sunday Best took home the glory!  Thank you for showing up big for our community.

We were especially grateful for the many blessings within our parish family, and proudly honored Jim and Molly Perry and Donna Terrasi.  Their faithful dedication and generous service have made such a lasting impact and we were thrilled that so many of us were together to express our gratitude.

If you were unable to attend, we invite you to consider donating to the campaign.
